Norris sacrifices sprint win to support teammate Piastri at Qatar Grand Prix

au.motorsport.com — November 30, 2024 at 04:01 PM UTC

Lando Norris decided to sacrifice a sprint race win at the Qatar Grand Prix to help his teammate Oscar Piastri. Norris backed off on the final lap, allowing Piastri to take the victory, honoring a previous gesture from Piastri in Brazil. Norris had planned this move since Brazil, where Piastri had given up a win for him. Despite team orders to maintain position, Norris felt it was important to repay Piastri's earlier support. Both drivers celebrated a strong performance, securing a 1-2 finish for McLaren. Norris acknowledged he could have pushed harder but prioritized teamwork to keep rival George Russell at bay.
